Milk first or last in your tea/coffee?

supernova84

I used to always leave the milk until last then give it a stir but lately I'm putting the milk in first along with a tea bag, leaving the hot water til last and I must say the results are for a better cuppa.
What do ye reckon?

Milk first in coffee, last in tea.

Black coffee, milk just ruins it

Coffee: water first then milk.

Milk first means it's way too hot. Dunno why.

Sea Filly

Only drink tea. Milk goes in last, sugar dissolves better in just the hot water on its own.

Mrmoe

Milk always last. The order should be teabad, water, sugar and then milk.

No milk in my tea, and last in coffee

cocoshovel

Tea Bag, Water, Milk.

Any other way and you're a filthy heathen!

Paddy Cow

Sugar, teabag, hot water. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Take out the teabag (a friend of mine used to leave hers in the mug *vomit*). Then add milk.

MickySticks

I just lump the teabag, sugar and milk in at the start, pour in water, take out teabag. Easy.

Water first, then milk, then sugar.

Sure anything else would be mental.

Teabag, sugar, water, milk, rohypnol

Don't drink coffee & just drink herbal tea, No need for milk :-)

kkhornet

Milk, teabag then the water. And then leave the teabag in:D

Pfffttt, just put some milk, sugar and a few hundred teabags in your boiler and you'll have tea on tap.

Milk, tea bag then sugar no water, water is for pussies

Milk first when making coffee. At weekends, I zap half a mug of milk first in the microwave, lovely with toast

I don't drink coffee or tea and everytime I turn down the offer of either I get treated like I'm not a real person. Q.Q

Who said that?

admiralofthefleet

i mix the milk, sugar and coffee together first. milk in afterwards when im having tea though

naughtysmurf

whichever is closest to hand

Mr. CooL ICE

Boiling water in cup til cup is hot -> empty cup -> insert teabag -> re-boil and pour water -> remove teabag -> sugar/milk.

Anyone who mixes milk and teabag in any form is a cretin.


Myself and my housemate used to take turns making tea, but the tea he made always tasted dodgy. One time I watched him make it by pouring in the water first, throwing in the teabag on top, then milk and sugar and removed the teabag. After asking wtf he was doing, his response was "sure what difference does it make" :mad:

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

milk in cup, heat it up in the microwave, drop a teabag in there for a minute or two then pour in boiling water

delish, and stays hot for ages

What you're really asking is: 'Are you a Culchie or a Dub?'

I drink black tea. I like to add the milk as I am adding the hot water to my coffee. It gives it the nice frothy feel. Enjoy.

Good quality green tea for me and freshly ground coffee, not expensive when you don't partake that often. I only take milk on the rare occasion with well stewed black Lyons type tea, and its tea + water then milk, how else will you get maximum steepage. Even with that I'd rather lick a cow's hole than put sugar in it. The tea that is not the cow's hole.

Teabag -> Water -> Stir-> Remove Teabag-> Sugar -> Stir -> Milk -> Digestive Biscuit

Please don't say you "dunk"??

Chuck Stone

I always scald the cup with boiling water to take the chill out of it.

LETHAL LADY

Two teabags left to stew for a few mins in a big mug then two sugars and a splash of milk for colour. I do have a teapot for one as nobody else likes tea in my house.:(

you must have a spoon handy to remove debris from cup before drinking

Here's a sickener for the anti-dunkers in the audience: in France they pour their coffee into a bowl for breakfast and dip their jam slathered toast into it.

I don't mind the idea of that, it's just the soggy biscuit leavings at the bottom of the cup of tea that gives me the irits

Milk in Coffee...never.

Perfect . Boscoirl you can make me a cup of tea any time

Cú Giobach

With real coffee or tea unconcerned, but for instant coffee making a paste of the coffee and a drop of cold milk before adding the hot water makes a huge difference and gives a lovely creamy cup of beverage. Try it.

I actually add petrol to my tea, because I'm a tank!

Phill Ewinn

Enda should introduce a teabag levy. Shure if it's only 22c a teabag we could raise ~€1.2bn to pay for pension schemes for pen pushers in the civil service.

Economic problem solved.

Milk second, Sugar last. Give it a good stir to get the sweetness going.

Black coffee

Milk first in coffee makes it taste a bit creamier, if it goes in last it tasted far stronger and bland looking.

RichieC

The poor used to put the milk in first because they used ****ty cups that would crack with boiling water. The rich used fine china that was grand with the water first.

Snowie
